Saved by the Bell fans know that the show originally started out as "Good Morning, Miss Bliss." The show ran for thirteen episodes on The Disney Channel. The ratings were so low that they decided not to renew it for a second season. "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" was centered around the title character played by Hayley Mills. The show also featured SBTB alums Dennis Haskins, Lark Voorhies, Dustin Diamond, and Mark-Paul Gosselaar. Their characters magically moved from Indianapolis to California when the show was reworked into Saved by the Bell and aired on NBC Saturday mornings.
There is a little known original pilot that was made before Miss Bliss aired on the Disney Channel. It was only aired once on prime time on NBC. Some of the plot points from the show were dramatically different and featured a wholly different cast. Among them were a handful of very young actors that moved on to become notable on other popular prime time series' (Jonathan Brandis, Jaleel White, and Brian Austin Green). Below you can find the original pilot from YouTube.
